THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 14 Friday, July 16, 1982 Shultz Ties M.E. Peace to Palestinian 'Aspirations' Caricatures for your party By SAM FIELD Call 399-1320 _(Continued from Page 1) "Beyond the suffering of the Palestinian people lies a complex of political prob- lems which must be addres- sed if the Middle East is to know peace." Under questioning from Senators, Shultz said that he regretted that Israel went into Lebanon, since he noted the cease-fire established by President Reagan's special envoy Philip Habib a year ago seemed to be holding. He noted that the Israeli action did not address the major is- sue, which was the lack of progress on the Palesti- nian problem. He said that the "tre- mendous amount of bloodshed" in Lebanon is appalling to him and others. "There's got to be a better way," he said.

He said that "the chal- lenge of the negotiations" under the Camp David framework is to go ahead with the autonomy talks. "For these talks to succeed, representatives of the Palestinians them- selves must participate in the negotiating process." He said later that the rep- resentative did not necessarily have to be the PLO. In his connection, Shultz stressed his commitment to the U.S. position not to deal with the PLO until they recognize Israel's right to exist and until they accept United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, and he added, "par- ticularly if they get off this guerrilla kick." Speaking of Israel, Shultz noted that the "rightness" of Israel's preoccupation with matters of security cannot The sun insists on glad- ness; but at night, when he is gone, poor nature loves to weep. —Bailey tion to a complicated prob- lem. He noted that when Bechtel complied with the Arab boycott position there was no U.S. position. On Tuesday, Shultz said that he has no specific differences on the Middle East with the Reagan Administration. He said his statement during the 1980 Presiden- tial campaign that his only differences with then candidate Reag- - was on the Middle Ea was not made after seri- ous thought but was just a reply to a reporter's question. "I will be able to make myself comfortable in this area with the President," Shultz said. In reply to a question from Sen. Rudy Boschwitz (R-Minn.) Shultz said he ag- reed with the President that Israel is a "strategic asset." He said that the U.S. has to provide for a secure Israel. Shultz stressed, however, that "we weaken Israel" when, in strengthening its security, there is no parallel effort to bring about a set- tlement of the Middle East issues. Boschwitz said he disag- reed with Shultz that the Palestinian problem is at the center of Middle East problems. Boschwitz main- tained that it is not the un- derlying and only problem. Shultz replied that while there are many problems in the Middle East, unless there is a set- tlement of the Palestinian issue there are no pros- pects to achieve peace in that area. Shultz was unanimously approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee on Wednesday and is ex- pected to gain early ap- proval from the full Senate.
